Hi Giggles,

I was reading your post here and thought...wow she has what I have. I am so glad to have someone to talk to that has this. Is your considered severe? I was told the biopsy said severe atypical complex hyperplasia. I asked my doc, do I have cancer??? She said, no it's just a pre-cancer. I am like you and have myself sick over this worrying it's cancer and already all through my abdomen. I just cried over this thought tonight. I feel so scared, overwhelmed and anxiety out of the roof. I am having heart palpatations too. I felt ok the other day, but now I did more research online and have myself sick.

My surgery is Sept. 6 too? Are you having a TAH or LAVH. My doc said she will do mine LAVH. I voiced my concern if this was wise, and she said I have nothing to worry about she could do mine this way. So I put my faith in her and God to do this.

I also the past week or so have gas and bloat more. I believe the stress of this is affecting me. I also have fibromyalgia and my muscles are tensing too. I need to get a grip here.

I also found out 5 days after my dx of the hyperplasia that my mammogram showed a 6 mm nodule, so now next friday I go for a breast ultrasound. No wonder I am a wreck dealing with both of this stuff at the same time???

I would like to ask you with your complex hyperplasia with atypia do you have symptoms as I do....bloat, gas, heavy feeling and lately abnormal bleeding, and some cramping????

Oh I am glad to have found you to talk to. I was starting to feel so alone with this diagnosis.

Hugs

Hi again giggles,

I wanted to address your question about spotting with this stuff. I have been having a lot of spotting lately. Although the past month I have not. I was having 2 periods a month during May and June. with spotting a lot in between that would last days. that is what prompted me to go to the gyne...the wacky bleeding pattern.

Hang in there. We will be ok and can support each other. We have a lot in common here. To give you an idea how worked up I am this evening I am already thinking I will be dead in a few months. Isn't that sad???? You just don't know the severity of it until they do the surgery and then get the pathology report back. ARe you as scared as i am over this and freaking out??????

Please do hang in there and rest, and stay strong. Be courageous and face adversity in the face and you will be a winner. We WILL get through this, together!!!!!!! Keep me posted.

Hugs

sister angel... thank god someone who can relate....abnormal bleeding...alittle gas but worse this week and stress is at a max high...i too after reading posts here am more worried than ever..my husband is about to ban me from the internet if i dont stop obsessing....lol i never feel heavy or full...just scared...im holding onto words that the doc said like...thank god you came in when you did...my pap was normal...my transvaginal ultra sound was fine ..nothing enlarged ..no cists or anything...my bloodwork was good ..she didnt do a ca125 though. im having an abdominal hyster...hopefully she will throw in a tummy tuck...lol hope this helps ..

yes we will get thru it together...you sound so much like me...i made my will out..lol. i have 5 wonderful children and a wonderful loving supporting husband.. just pray..ill keep you in my prayers and we will survive my friend... my hyperplasia she never called it severe ..she acts as if its no big deal...i hope it isnt

Hi Giggles, I emailed you this morning. Yes, we will get through this with flying colors. I have a strong faith in God and my Dr. I know there is the chance they will see cancer during my surgery, but I am putting it all in God's hands it will be as she said, only PRE-cancer.

Hang in there.

Hugs

Dear Giggles:

I am sorry you recently lost your dad. After going through this ordeal with your parents it may be hard to believe what the doctors are telling you -- that things look positive in your case, and it looks like they caught it before it had a chance to turn into anything more serious. Of course, we would prefer to hear that nothing is wrong at all, but all in all, those are good words to hear! Please try to believe that things will work out and find some calm in this storm. Regards, Blue.

Hi Giggles / Sister Angel,

I too have complex hyperplasia with atypia. I too have wacko bleeding, something (at least spotting) almost every day for close to a year. Had 52 straight days in the spring, it was horrible. That's when the referrals all started. I too have myself convinced that it's cancer, talked about wills, etc. It is very scary to hear these things.

I am 33 - how about you gals? I have been struggling to find others in my age group with this specific dx. Thanks to this site I have lots in this age range with the surgery, but the #'s of people with c.h. with a. are so low under 40 that is another scary factor. My surgery is Sept 13th, so I am praying that all will be fine.

Good luck, look forward to hearing from you both.

Hi Waitlisted,

So you join us atypical complex hyperplasia girls too, huh? It's good not to be alone. Did they tell you how bad it is? My gyne just said the word "severe"...scary. I have done a lot of research on this online. I have read that sometimes it's already cancer, and sometimes it's not..just as they say..PRE-cancer. We just have to remain hopeful and keep praying for the best. We will all be ok.

I am 45. I seen your surgery is 9/13, that is mine and hubby's anniversary. We'll be married 26 yrs.

I know you're so scared because of the age factor, but keep positive..you'll do fine...geez..listen to me LOL, I've been falling apart here and I'm telling you to be calm and positive..lol...I need to practice what I preach here huh? lol.

I never had any irregular bleeding until early may this year. I had a period and then 10 days later just started to flood, but only last an hour and spotted a few days..but it got wackier in june..off and on bleeding. In July I had one normal period and also in August..no spotting flooding nothing..weird huh? So I hope that means my problems aren't too advance then. that I caught it early.

Best of luck to you. Keep us posted!!! You'll be FINE!!! Keep the faith. We all have each other.
